Stolkertsijver is a town in the Commewijne District of Suriname. It is situated on the East-West Link. At Stolkertsijver, a bridge spanning the Commewijne River was built in 1970s.[1]
The village was named after the Stolkertsijver plantation, also known as Courcabo. The plantation was founded around 1670 by Charles Godeffroy.[2] The plantation was abandoned in 1827.[3]

National Army responded by destroying the temple in Moengotapoe, and capturing all males present.[5] Moengotapoe was the current home of Brunswijk.[4] On 29 November 1986, Moiwana, the birthplace of Brunswijk, was the scene of the 1986 Moiwana massacre where 35 people, mostly women and children were killed by the National Army.[6]
